This spell is a specialized variant of Conjure Elemental. Upon completion, the spell opens up a gate into the plane of Elemental Earth and draws forth a Crysmal. It is 80% likely to draw forth a standard crysmal, with a 20% chance to bring forth a psionically-powered crysmal. The mage version of this spell requires the caster to maintain concentration to control the creature, while the priestly version allows no chance of the crysmal breaking free from control. The crysmal remains on the prime material plane for the spell's duration of 1 turn/level, until slain, or forced back via a Dispel Magic.

This spell is favored by gnomish priests, as well as a staple among the little-known school of Gem Magery. See the Al-Qadim boxed set for more information on the crysmal elemental kin.
